Gameplay Trailer of Colin Mc Rae: Dirt

Gameplay Trailer of Colin Mc Rae: Dirt

Codemasters unveils the first gameplay trailer of Colin McRae: Dirt on the 360 Marketplace. The game is several months from its June release but it already looks quite good, if not as spectacular as some of the screenshots.
Update: Fixed version with better sound sync (but not perfect) online. A proper 720p version will be online tonight.
Update2: 720p versions added. The quality of the original trailer on the Marketplace isn't that good to begin with, so downloading this new version isn't really necessary if you've seen the previous one.

Codemaster's upcoming installment in the long-running and exceedingly popular Colin McRae series isn't just the best-looking rally game we've seen, it's one of the best-looking next generation titles, period. This week we've been lucky enough to go hands-on with Colin McRae: DIRT and were immediately blown away by the impressive visuals, superb handling and high-speed rally racing. Clearly Codemasters has had its best development team locked up in a garage for several years with only programming tools for company, if the impressive results we've seen so far are anything to go by.

DIRT is definitely shaping up to be a truly next generation racing game, which looks great and plays brilliantly too

Same preview as the 360 one, I believe it was the 360 version being played by them as well.

It's probably just me, but I find gratuitous lowercase "i" in titles/products really annoying. Otherwise the game doesn't look half bad. Not my cup of tea, but still alright.

I'm sold... This yeah must have one of the best driving game releases in a long time! CMR, Forza2, GTR2, PGR4 and whatever else, now I know I will need to get a wheel for 360 :)

It is a rally game.... the whole point is about time based runs ... you do know that right ?

kind of bad luck to name a game dirt since if it sucks everyone can call it a peice of dirt. i dont know i just made that up

The framerate is absolute CRAP. how come we can have 60fps Colin McRae and RalliSport games on the original Xbox but not a 60fps Colin McRae on Xbox 360?

The graphics are NOT good enough to justify the low framerate (looks like 25 to 30 fps), or less). there is no excuse for this. I'm not saying the game is crap, it might turn out to be good, but the framerate is absolutely terrible IMO.

I will pass on the Xbox 360 and PS3 console versions if the framerate is anything like this. Hopefully the PC version will be capable of a solid, consistant, butter-smooth 60fps with a powerful graphics card.

lol ok if we are talking about real rally racing then we shouldn't have more than 1 car on the track either. BAH! Multiplayer is a must!

Dont be decieved by the video framerate, it maye not be the games framerate, the game is supposed to be locked at 50fps

Codemasters said they're going to have the graphics run at 30 frames per second, but the the physics at 60fps.

Wow no multiplayer? What a waste. I was looking forward to buying a rally game on 360, but no online multiplayer = no buy. A.I. in racing games is just like bots in FPS to me, no fun.

pure horse pap. god bless colin mccrae 05 on the xbox. smooth 60fps over that pap anyday. the second dissapointment of the week. first virtua tennis now this.
I myself would not call CMR: Dirt "pure horse pap" though I will say that it's disheartening to know that Dirt is gonna be ~30fps when CMR 05 and both RalliSport games on Xbox1 were 60fps bliss.

regarding the confusion over the framerate of the visuals

http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread....

originally the target was 60fps (50fps PAL) but they decided to go with 30fps (25fps PAL?) because they could not get the graphical fidelity they wanted at 60fps/50fps, so they dropped the framerate of the graphics.


http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showpost.ph...

60fps was our target and we've found ourselves unable to meet that at an acceptable level of visual quality. somethign had to give and it was decided to drop the frame rate, Because, in our opinion, the game looks better this way than the other way.

Your opinion my be different, but ultimatey we've got to take the route we think is best.
http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showpost.ph...

Dirt's phsyics engine isn;t tied to the graphics update speed, it runs fast (like Papyrus's or ISI's enigne)

graphic update is 30 fps.
main physics update is 60fps (with suspension stuff calculated somewhere round 1000 times a second.) so you're not losing out on any fidelity there from dropping the speed of the graphics update.

1. Very nice Cockpit view!
2. Rain looks awesome
3. 30 frames? No Thanks!
4. No Multiplayer? Really?
5. Good graphics, but not groundbreaking.


Waitin' for SEGA Rally 360, Richard Burns (R.I.P.) Rally 2 & Rally Sport 3.

I agree with, basicly all of that.

I wouldn't be waiting for Rallisport3 if I were you. Dice who did the two original games for MS are now owned by EA. I recon MS still owns the license, but it just wouldn't be the same without DICE.

Sega Rally will be totally different than Colin McRae. Visually stunning (probably) but more of a weight on the arcady side of rally. In the end you will probably need to get both... :)

OH thats right, cuz that rallisport challenge 2 was such a crappy game...

</sarcasm>

admittedly the graphics fidelity and physics look awesome. If only codemasters could spend another 6 months on DIRT to get the visual update running at 60 frames a second. Then DIRT could've been the best rally game ever made.

I myself am looking forward to Sega Rally Revo. Also, if they're ever made; RalliSport 3 and Richard Burns Rally 2.

dissapointed after seeing the first trailer even though i'm a fan and... RallySport 2 its a great game!

Forza2 and this , it's a good year for racing fans.
